Jacques Bally, originally from Paris, ventured to Martinique in 1917 to acquire and rejuvenate the abandoned Lajus sugarcane plantation. This bold move came just fifteen years after the catastrophic eruption of Mount Pelee, one of the deadliest volcanic events in recorded history. Undeterred by this recent tragedy, Jacques sought new business opportunities with minimal capital. Although he became the new owner of the plantation, his interest leaned more towards rum production than sugar. Before long, Jacques’ Rhum Agricole gained recognition beyond the island. The brand was later acquired by Remy Cointreau, and production was moved to the centralized Simon Distillery. With an annual production volume of roughly 250,000 liters, J.Bally rums remain a rare find, not typically stocked on supermarket shelves. This bottle of J.Bally Rhum Vieux Agricole 12yo, with its 45% ABV and 700ml size, hails from France and embodies the rich heritage and artisanal craftsmanship of the brand.
J.Bally Rhum Vieux Agricole 12yo originates from Martinique, France. The brand was founded by Jacques Bally in 1917 and is now produced at the Simon Distillery.
